1 Também fez um altar de bronze de vinte côvados de comprimento, vinte de largura e dez de altura. 2 Fez também o mar de fundição, redondo, de dez côvados de uma borda até a outra borda, e de cinco de altura; e um fio de trinta côvados era a medida de sua circunferência. 3 Por baixo da sua borda, em redor, havia figuras de colocíntidas, dez em cada côvado; estavam em duas fileiras, fundidas quando se fundiu o mar. 4 Assentava-se o mar sobre doze bois; três olhavam para o norte, três, para o ocidente, três, para o sul, e três, para o oriente; o mar apoiava-se sobre eles, cujas partes posteriores convergiam para dentro. 5 A grossura dele era de quatro dedos, a sua borda, como borda de copo, como flor de lírios; comportava três mil batos.
6 Também fez dez pias e pôs cinco à direita e cinco, à esquerda, para lavarem nelas o que pertencia ao holocausto; o mar, porém, era para que os sacerdotes se lavassem nele. 7 Fez também dez candeeiros de ouro, segundo fora ordenado, e os pôs no templo, cinco à direita e cinco à esquerda. 8 Também fez dez mesas e as pôs no templo, cinco à direita e cinco à esquerda; também fez cem bacias de ouro. 9 Fez mais o pátio dos sacerdotes e o pátio grande, como também as portas deles, as quais cobriu de bronze. 10 E o mar pôs ao lado direito, para o lado sudeste. 11 Depois, fez Hirão as panelas, e as pás, e as bacias. Assim, terminou ele de fazer a obra para o rei Salomão, para a Casa de Deus: 12 as duas colunas, os dois globos e os dois capitéis que estavam no alto das duas colunas; as duas redes, para cobrirem os dois globos dos capitéis que estavam no alto das colunas; 13 as quatrocentas romãs para as duas redes, isto é, duas fileiras de romãs para cada rede, para cobrirem os dois globos dos capitéis que estavam no alto das colunas. 14 Fez também os suportes e as pias sobre eles, 15 o mar com os doze bois por baixo. 16 Também as panelas, as pás, os garfos e todos os utensílios fez Hirão-Abi para o rei Salomão, para a Casa do Senhor, de bronze purificado. 17 Na planície do Jordão, o rei os fez fundir em terra barrenta, entre Sucote e Zereda.
18 Fez Salomão todos estes objetos em grande abundância, não se verificando o peso do seu bronze. 19 Também fez Salomão todos os utensílios do Santo Lugar de Deus: o altar de ouro e as mesas, sobre as quais estavam os pães da proposição; 20 e os candeeiros com as suas lâmpadas de ouro puro, para as acenderem, segundo o costume, perante o Santo dos Santos. 21 As flores, as lâmpadas e as tenazes eram do mais fino ouro, 22 como também as espevitadeiras, as bacias, as taças e os incensários, de ouro finíssimo; quanto à entrada da casa, as suas portas de dentro do Santo dos Santos e as portas do Santo Lugar do templo eram de ouro.
1 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.
2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
3 And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.
4 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above on them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
5 And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.
6 He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basins of gold.
9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.
10 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.
11 And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;
12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;
13 And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the capitals which were on the pillars.
14 He made also bases, and lavers made he on the bases;
15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the meat hooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.
17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.
19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables where on the show bread was set;
20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;
21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold;
22 And the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
